Dental Treatments For Children
Initial Dental Consultation
A new patient consultation involves a comprehensive exam -
-
A soft tissue pathology screening.
-
Treatment planning and an individualized cavity risk assessment.
-
A cavity risk assessment gives an understanding of the factors that could cause cavities in your child’s mouth. Detailed information on the prevention of cavities, gum disease, and trauma is provided during the consultation
Dental Sealants
Fissure sealants are used to reduce the chances of decay on molar tooth surfaces. Fissure sealants are most effective when applied to a newly erupted tooth. Pit and fissure sealants can chip or break over time, so it is advised to check them at least once in 6 months.
What Are The Treatments Done By A paediatric dentist?
Stainless Steel Crown
Fillings are suitable for small cavities however stainless steel crowns are recommended for larger cavities and cavities that involve the nerve of the milk teeth. Given the small size and fragile structure of a baby tooth – crowns are much less likely than fillings to need to be replaced. With stainless steel crowns the whole tooth is covered, so future decay on that tooth is a lot less likely.
Pulpotomy
A primary tooth pulpotomy is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal. It is performed on baby teeth with extensive decay that has affected the nerve of the tooth. The affected part of the nerve of the tooth is removed and the remaining part of the pulp is treated with medication. Following a pulpotomy, the tooth usually needs a stainless steel crown. The purpose of a pulpotomy is to save a decayed baby tooth so that the tooth can hold the space for the permanent tooth and maintain dental health.
Space Maintainer
Baby teeth are needed to hold space for the permanent teeth that are waiting to come in. The earlier a baby tooth is lost/or taken out, the more critical this space loss becomes. Space maintainers are available to hold the space for the permanent tooth to move into.
Mouth Guard
A mouthguard is one that is made by your dentist nearby following an impression of your child’s teeth and is fitted by your dentist. In order for a mouthguard to work effectively, it has to be in position at the time of a bang to the teeth. This is why retention (ability to stay on the teeth) and the accurate fit is very important. Custom-made mouthguards are individually molded to fit the child’s teeth, better than shop-bought mouthguards. Custom-made mouthguards are superior in retention (ability to stay on the teeth) protection, prevent dental injury and comfort
Myofunctional Appliances
Myofunctional Appliances also called Functional Appliances are used when the upper teeth further forward than normal in relation to the lower teeth. They are best used around 11-14 years in boys and 10-13 years in girls. Functional appliances can help correct the growth of the jaws by utilizing the power of the jaw muscles. This may avoid the need for extractions and more complex orthodontic treatment when the child is older. They are worn for at least 9 to 12 months may be fixed or removable.
